尋南溪常山道人隱居 While Visiting on the South Stream the Taoist Priest Chang

劉長卿 Liu Changqing

一路经行处，

Walking along a little path,

yī lù jīng xíng chù ，

莓苔见履痕。

I find a footprint on the moss,

méi tái jiàn lǚ hén 。

白云依静渚，

A while cloud low on the quiet lake,

bái yún yī jìng zhǔ ，

春草闭闲门。

Grasses that sweeten an idle door,

chūn cǎo bì xián mén 。

过雨看松色，

A pine grown greener with the rain,

guò yǔ kàn sōng sè ，

随山到水源。

A brook that comes from a mountain source –

suí shān dào shuǐ yuán 。

溪花与禅意，

And, mingling with Truth among the flowers,

xī huā yǔ chán yì ，

相对亦忘言。

I have forgotten what to say.

xiāng duì yì wàng yán 。
